If there’s one thing about this community I love the most, it’s how the people truly do come together in someone’s time of need. It warms my heart to see the love pour out time and time again. This time the need involves my dear sister-in-law Becky Farr. She is currently battling colon cancer. After having major surgery, she’s now doing extensive chemotherapy treatments.

As with anyone going through a medical crisis, the overwhelming costs can sometimes be just as stressful as the illness itself.

A cancer benefit in Becky’s honor will be held at Hillcrest Bar & Grill, Saturday, Sept. 28 beginning at 4 p.m. The event will be held rain or shine and be complete with a large tent, bonfire, DJ, silent and live auction, food, cancer sucks wrist bands, a full bar and beer. Proceeds from the event will go to help cover the costs of her medical expenses.

A Facebook page has been set up with further details, but it’s also been the gathering place for those wanting to wish her well and praying for her and the family. Persons can log onto this page to learn more about the cancer benefit and sign up to attend. The link is listed directly below or persons can simply type in the search box on Facebook, “Cancer benefit for Becky Eaton-Farr.”

Becky is a strong woman, but all the love, support, prayers and well wishes have made her stronger and even more determined to kick cancer’s butt. I’m so proud of her courage. Please consider coming out to show your support for Becky and to help stand up to cancer!
